How we handle bath repair in Halliwell
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We’re frequently asked to fix damage beneath the taps and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Store metal items away from the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Halliwell

- Whirlpool & spa baths
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
When to call us in Halliwell
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips on the rim or sides

How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Halliwell. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Halliwell
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Halliwell use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
